Lord Shadow

Chapter 1784: A Small Spy

A world of martial virtue then surely have righteousness that is awe inspiring and people who fight for their belief.

Some people believe that the world court judgement is true but the punishment did not fit the crime.

Some people believe that the punishment is politically motivated. Not everyone is convinced by the judgement of the World Court.

Helva has many enemies.

But she also have many friends.

And that is the thing that worries William.

He did not worry that small group of people trying to save Helva. He worries that there would be too many people would try to save Helva.

If so, many people wanted to save her, it would be a miracle if the Shadow Guards did not hear about it. More people, more mouth. More mouths, it is easier for the secret to be leaked.

He sighed ”In the end, I have to rely on myself to save her” he thought to himself.

Then he rummage something from his sleeve and brought out a compass. The compass then moves left and right before pointing out a direction to him

Willaim swims out of the cove and when he arrives at one of the deep areas, he seems to be looking down deep into the ocean

He shakes his head and then swims a little but further. If one look at the area from above, one could see it is a blue hole. And this blue hole is very terrifying looking

Like a black hole that is endless. But Willaim did not hesitate at all as he dive down

He dives down into the blue hole, fast like a torpedo being shot from a hypersonic barrel. In just a few second, he travels down a hundred kilometer below the sea

The pressure should have crushed him but William himself is a Disk Formation leveler so the pressure could not crush him

And below he found an underwater cave and then entering the cave, he saw his small submarine. this submarine looks like a giant fish made of steel.

He enters it and as he walks toward the driver seat, he taps the wall of the ship and smiles ”This would be a rough journey. I hope this old thing could still withstand such journey” He started oof the submarine and heading toward wherever the compass pointed him toward. ....

In Pandemonium, the situation is tense.

The Three Armies camped outside of the capital while Sasha activated the Pandemonium Formation covering Heaven and Earth of the capital

At the same time, in a submarine, there is eleven people sitting on a chair in front of a round table with hologram of a certain gigantic structure.

This hologram is floating on the middle of the table and the eleven people is looking at this hologram intently.

William looked at these eleven people looking at the hologram and he did not say anything. He is just looking at them seemingly analyzing the structure. They seems to be talking among themselves.

William sighed

Who is William?

He is a small figure in the crime underworld. And he is the head of the Order of the Golden World.

He has the nickname Golden Sky. He is not that famous but he is not entirely unknown to the world order.

But compared to people like Void, like Loki, those pirate lords and pirate kings, those crime lords and warlords, William is a small shrimp

One of the services he did for criminals is laundering their identity, cleaning scenes, plants information and searching for people

This is a few of their job.

They are also very good at fomenting dissent and training sleeper agent in enemy territory.

It might seem like such an organization should be bigger and famous but there is many crimes organization in the world that offers the same service with even more powerful method and more logistic that they could cover.,

Hence the Order of the Golden World is not that famous but this did not mean that they are weak.

The fact is that many crimes organization has risen and fallen yet almost for three decades now, the Golden Sky is there.

That alone speak of his ability.

But what is his real identity? Is he only a small figure in the crime underworld? Is he a head of a small crime organization?

No. He has another identity. A more dangerous identity

He is Loki spy

Infiltrating the criminal underworld and Loki eyes and ears in the Crime Alliance.

He was tasked to infiltrate the underworld crime organization long before Loki enter the

Crime Alliance and become one of the people on the Red Table.

Of course, William Woodman is not that vain that he would thought that he is the only ears and eyes of Loki in the Crime Alliance.

Knowing Loki and his cautiousness, there is probably a few more spies in the Crime Alliance. But Willaim Woodman knows he is quite important.

How does he know that he is important?

Because he knows his employer. Willaim knows how Loki operates. Especially how he manages his intelligence agency.

No one would know who their employer is.

Loki himself would probably not show his face and become the man behind the scene if he were to orchestrate an infiltration.

But he knows. And he is still on the field.

Willaim knows that there is someone in the Purgatory, the island of Jan Mayen, that knows how to erase memory.

He expected that he would get his memory wiped but Loki never wiped his memory. Instead, he seem to allow this memory on his head.

He is not in many files and not many pay attention to him. Willaim believes this is also because Loki erase some of his files and cover up for him.

Even until now, he never understood why Loki trust him so much even though they never met.

Other than his relations with Helva, most of his relation with other people in the Crime

Alliance is quite perfunctory.

He did not have any strong allies nor did he have any long-time enemies.

Just a small organization that managed to survive though the ups and down of the world. And that is probably why he managed to keep a low profile and did not get caught for three decades

One of the requirements of a spy is to come close to important people and make connection with them

The more a spy is close to their target, the easier it is to capture them. And Crime Alliance also has their own method of catching spies

And there was many purges of spies in the Crime Alliance

And in all of that purge, William was rarely included.

This is because he is not close to anyone and he never shows an initiative at all of trying to ingratiate himself to some figure or members of the Crime Alliance

In the eyes and thoughts of the people in the Crime Alliance, William Woodman is just a common criminal that wanted to survive in this world and that is all of it to him

It is this action of his that enable him to be embedded deeply into the Crime Alliance and could get some news earlier than others.

Not many knows this but he is one of the one that informs Loki of many of Criem Alliance plan when he was regent.

Willaim Woodman.

That is not even his real name ”It would be hard to part with this name” he thought to himself. He has lived three decades as

William Woodman so he is quite familiar with this name. he might not like the name that much, but he is familiar with it.

Today, he wanted to stage the last crime before he returns back to normal life.

Since Loki has agreed to it, then he needs to grasp this chance. Who knows when such chance would come again?

Thirty years as a spy. It is enough for him.

He wanted to retire. But he knows that is not really possible. When you know so many things like he did, retiring is not an easy thing.

And even though he always said in his heart he wanted to retire, he knows that if he really retires, he would be bored out of his mind.

Some people like to feel at peace, living in a secluded valley somewhere in the world, enjoying the sun in the morning, feeling the wind breeze in the afternoon and sleep amidst the sound of the river flowing

But William has always been the kind of guy that likes to wander. He likes to explore. And he likes excitement.

He likes adventure. He could not stand still and he always want something to do. Restless....in the best way possible.

And is there anything else in this world that is more thrilling than being a spy. Is it dangerous?

It is

But that what makes it thrilling. He did not believe that much in great causes. He just likes the thrill. And Loki knows it.

But even though he did not believe in great causes after the Weronian Occupation, some of his belief changes slightly.

Even though he is still the same in not subscribing to any great causes, he does have something to strive toward.

And that is not to harm the world and not to do things that would make humanity suffer. At least, just to avoid seeing that hell during the Weronian Occupation. >>
